Charley · August 20, 2007 - 00:33 EST #1: Unless my eyes deceive me, this is a Curtiss P-36. The radial variant of the venerable P-40, it was notably unsuccessful in the hands af all but the most motivated of pilots, such as the Finns. I think, the Dutch had some, too. Alas, an ME-109 is not a Polikarpov, as the record will show.

morgan kinney · November 27, 2007 - 14:17 EST #2: actually, i think this is a clone of the p36. it looks like a built up texan t6

David B. Strawser · January 18, 2008 - 12:44 EST #3: Try Australian Wirraway.

Glen Dubya · January 20, 2008 - 00:33 EST #4: Wirraway typically has a different cockpit line though, doesn't it?

Jon Farrelly · January 23, 2008 - 10:26 EST #5: The CA-16 Wirraway, license built North American NA-33(NA-16-2K), had a fabric covered fuselage.
The aircraft in the photo is most likely an SNJ-1 or SNJ-2 modified to look like a Hellcat.

loflight · November 18, 2008 - 22:48 EST #6: Commonwealth Boomerang, maybe.

Jon Farrelly · November 19, 2008 - 02:18 EST #7: NA-50 replica built from a heavily converted
Canadian built Harvard Mk IV (AT-6/SNJ). The paint scheme is spurious.
